Simple, relaxing, endless game. People love it! ∞ Infinity Loop is a fun way of increasing your logic skills. It can be considered a puzzle game about creating intricate looping patterns or just the application of using a simple concept: "connecting multiple things" and make fun out of it. Some people say this game is a good puzzle game but with a great zen mode. The goal is to clear your mind, remove the stress from your daily life without any pressure or tension to solve the levels. If you are looking for stress relief or a relaxing game type, enjoy the loop! FAQ How to Play Infinity Loop? Connect all the lines and corners to make perfect connections. It is like killing the chaos and reaching perfection. Watch the video to overview how it works. Check on youtube as well where several people post the solutions. Nonetheless, we suggest you try to find yourself how the game works and what you are supposed to do. How to Play the Infinity Dark Mode? The goal of the dark mode is to make disconnections, breaking it all and not leaving a single piece connected. How many levels the game has? Infinite. How can I save my game progress? Make sure you connect the app with the App Store on the settings panel (the button is at the bottom of the gameplay). This way your progress won't be lost. If you face further issues reach us by email. Do I need to pay anything to play Infinity Loop? No. The original game is 100% free. There is no need to pay anything for the original game. The game is free for unlimited levels. Only if you opt for the secondary game, called "black mode", you may need to pay a coffee for it after level 100. I don't feel the game is challenging. Why? The challenge for us would be making the game with increasing difficulty after a certain level while at the same time relaxing and allowing infinity levels. So how could level 100.000 be more difficult than level 10.000? It is hard. So as we cannot have the best in all worlds, we have opted to make it relaxing for now. Note: This game is also available on Apple Watches. And it's very fun as well!
